then goes off. If after 2 minutes it is still on, see the Troubleshooting Tips below.

securely attached to the wireless router Internet port and the modem, and the modem
is powered on.

• LAN: A LAN light should be lit. Green indicates your computer is communicating at
100 Mbps; yellow indicates 10 Mbps. If a LAN light is not lit, check that the Ethernet
cable from the computer to the router is securely attached at both ends, and that the
computer is turned on.
• Phone: The Phone light will not be lit until your phone service provider provisions the
phone service. Check the user guide from your phone service provider for details on
provisioning the phone service.
